35. I said that the majority of the people who have lived for 40+ years
raising generations of their families, did not have anything to do with wall construction.

I have been 100% clear on my position all along.

The continual building of new settlements, including post-Oslo, has been very detrimental to Israel.

The original settlements, built on land captured in the '67 war is not in the same category, and yes, the facts are on the ground already.

Whether it is 40 or 60 years, those people have been there for several generations.

Those settlements are not, and should not. be disbanded.

It is no better to uproot those half million people than it was to uproot original Palestinians.

What right do you think will be done by just reversing the uprooting?

Do you think that will end the conflict?

If so, you are really delusional.
